I would never write off an MS product until the third generation. There are several examples of early generation MS products that failed, but went on to be quite successful including Windows, IE, Word, etc. There are also failures but I wouldn't label them as such until at least the third generation.

 

What about Vista? LOL.

 

Vista has sold 100s of millions of copies...  and it sucks (in a should be better way, it is mostly better than XP for me)... but it is not a failure.

Failing to do what?

It's profitable.
It's got great games.
It's selling very well.

Using the competition as a yard stick isn't always the best idea.

Is Burger King a failure because McDonalds generates more revenue?

No, we just have this screwed up idea that everything is a race or a battle.

Damn good point, sir.

 

Thanks.  We can agree sometimes, I guess.
